Dove Lake is a lake near Cradle Mountain in Tasmania, Australia. The approximate time to finish the circuit walk from the car park at the northern end of the lake is 2-3 hours.

Like several other lakes in the region, Lake Dove was formed by glaciers. The habitat is unique, including the Tasmanian deciduous beech (Nothofagus gunnii), tussock grasses, snow gums and pencil pines. Among animals wandering the shores of the lake are numerous wombats.
